@darius Mostly I like this. But sometimes I don't include alt text because the image is described in the toot itself.

@WearsHats That's fine. The icon is just there to say there is no alt text, which is true even if you describe the image in the post itself. A human looking at it, like me, would go "oh it has a description, I'll boost it anyway"

@darius I get that. As you say, though, it partially obscures the image.

@WearsHats yup. In general it is a good idea to include the alt text, even compared to describing in the post itself, and I feel fine minorly penalizing images for lacking it.
